Kirsten Dunst slams ‘Spider-Man’ reboots: ‘Who cares?’

Kirsten Dunst has revealed she is not a fan of the Spider-Man reboots.

Dunst played Mary-Jane Watson opposite Tobey Maguire’s webslinger in director Sam Raimi’s original Spider-Man film trilogy, which came out between 2002 and 2007. Columbia Pictures then rebooted the franchise with 2012’s The Amazing Spider-Man and 2014’s The Amazing Spider-Man 2 starring Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone.

Now another reboot, Spider-Man: Homecoming starring Tom Holland and Zendaya, is being prepped for release in July. Asked about the new movie, Dunst told Marie Claire: “We made the best ones, so who cares? I’m like, ‘You make it all you want.’ They’re just milking that cow for money. It’s so obvious. You know what I mean?”

Dunst also revealed her lack of interest in the new Spider-Man movie in another recent interview, telling Variety: “I don’t care. Everyone likes our Spider-Man. C’mon, am I right or what? Listen, I’d rather be in the first ones than the new ones.”

Directed by Jon Watts, Spider-Man: Homecoming is set for release on July 7. The cast also includes Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark/Iron Man, Marisa Tomei as Spidey’s Aunt May, Michael Keaton as the villainous Vulture, and Zendaya as a character called Michelle.

The film is a joint production between Sony and Marvel Studios, the third cinematic iteration of Peter Parker/Spider-Man, but the first to tie in with the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Holland’s Spider-Man is a few years younger than those played by Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield, and the film is said to have a tone reminiscent of classic ’80s John Hughes movies like Weird Science and Pretty In Pink.
